LJ Traffic Control, LLC
Trusted Specialists in Traffic Management

LJ Traffic Control is a trusted traffic management and flagging service provider, recognized for its rapid response time and unwavering commitment to safety. With industry-leading operational reliability, it is a preferred partner for utility providers and construction contractors throughout the Cincinnati Tri-State, Northern Kentucky, Columbus and beyond.

Whether drawing up non-engineered traffic control plans, supporting complex line crossing operations that many competitors avoid or deploying certified traffic control professionals overnight to keep projects on schedule, LJ Traffic Control brings professionalism, agility, and a high standard of care. These differentiators make it a valued partner on every job site.

Its in-house training program provides a clear competitive advantage. Every team member, from schedulers to senior leadership, holds active flagger certification, ensuring hands-on expertise and a coordinated, all-hands response when urgent field situations arise.

“We prioritize safety and distinguish ourselves by focusing on quality over quantity," says Michael Hayslip, director of operations.

LJ Traffic Control boasts a dedicated, ATSSA-certified flagger instructor who conducts a five-hour, in-person certification course provided by the American Traffic Safety Services Association. New hires also spend two days shadowing a field trainer across multiple job sites, gaining hands-on exposure to client operations, project scope, and real-world traffic control procedures. This immersive onboarding ensures each crew member understands the work environment and the operational standards expected on-site.
It also provides OSHA 10- and 30-hour safety training, CPR certification, and defensive driving courses. An in-house safety manager focuses solely on auditing traffic control performance in the field, reinforcing the company’s unwavering commitment to safety and compliance. Regardless of project demands, LJ Traffic Control is equipped to dispatch highly trained, fully certified crews tailored to each client’s requirements.

A dedicated 24/7 emergency response crew ensures clients are never without support during urgent situations. This service is especially critical in Ohio, where severe weather often disrupts utility infrastructure.

"No matter the situation, we don’t turn work away. Our clients can count on us to respond, even in the middle of the night," says Josh Hunter, general manager.

LJ Traffic Control’s promote-from-within culture builds a workforce that reflects the company’s commitment to safety and meeting client requirements at any cost. On multiple occasions, the entire office team has mobilized to assist with emergency line crossings, demonstrating a hands-on approach that starts at the top.

In one instance, a contractor approached the company for a nighttime operation. Despite a full schedule, LJ Traffic Control didn’t turn them away. The senior leadership, who had worked a full day shift, mobilized without hesitation to provide temporary traffic control on-site. Instances like these build client trust and allow projects to stay on track, safely and efficiently.

A major driver of LJ Traffic Control’s success is its proactive, site-specific approach to every project. The operations manager develops customized Maintenance of Traffic (MOT) procedures and personally oversees job execution to ensure safety and regulatory compliance for clients and crew members. If any potential hazard is identified, the safety manager conducts a direct safety assessment on site.

This level of field oversight is unmatched in the industry. LJ Traffic Control maintains real-time visibility across active sites and swiftly mitigates issues that arise. If a crew member is unable to perform their duties or unsafe conditions emerge, the situation is assessed and resolved within 30 minutes. Employees with prior experience in construction companies that use traffic control services consistently recognize LJ Traffic Control’s hands-on supervision as a defining advantage.

LJ Traffic Control sets the standard for safety and reliability, ensuring work zones are secure and operations run seamlessly. With quick response times and attention to detail, it has built a reputation as a trusted partner, empowering contractors to complete projects safely while protecting people.
